What a better image to pair with black magic than the beautiful Stampendous Raven Background? I started with a piece of the Abracadabra cardstock. I dry embossed the cardstock using the Sizzix Embossing folder. I sanded the embossed areas using the Coredinations Sand It Gadget. (I love that the sand paper on the sanding block can be replaced after it is used up!) I added a layer of Adirondack Pearl paint over the embossed ares to add a sheen to the background.

The raven was stamped using black Versafine ink and embossed with Stampendous black embossing powder. I added a hint of orange watercolor pencils to the raven and the sanded background. I cut out the raven and pop dotted him onto the background.

Gorgeous Suzz, the May Arts ribbon adds a fabu,ous pop of colour, very striking and you know I love love the Raven. He looks fabu,ous set against your embossed background. Love that you added a little sheen. The white highlights really lift the letters from the background. Love this. Tracy x

Wow! I love that stamp anyway and this is a perfect use for it! The colors are fabulous with that hint of orange on the black! the embossing, the sanding and the ribbon just create a totally complete look!
